Adds and modifies a number of sea ice diagnostics, namely:
-
sivol
is the equivalent thickness of sea ice (i.e. the grid-cell mean thickness). The priorsivol
diagnostic was incorrect. It was equal tosithick
, which is the floe thickness (i.e. the thickness of ice averaged over the ice-covered portion of the grid cell). This change removes the oldsivol
diagnostic, and renames thesivol_CMOR
(which had the correct implementation ofsivol
) diagnostic tosivol
. See Notz et al. (2016) for the SIMIP definitions of these diagnostics.-The prior
simass_n
diagnostic is a confusing name, since it is actually the sea ice thickness in each category, not the mass in each category. This diagnostic has been modified such thatsimass_n
is now the ice mass in each category. This now has the property thatsum_n simass_n = simass
.-A new diagnostic
siitdthick
has been added, which is the ice thickness in each category, following the SIMIP variable definition.
